Maxon spent the 1980s quietly building the circuits inside the Ibanez pedals everyone worships, then bolted their own name onto this 1U rack delay. The DMD2000 is the result: a clean, punchy digital delay with enough modulation on tap to smear a guitar, thicken a synth, or add the subtle slap that makes a vocal sit right. Less famous than its Roland rivals, which is exactly why it is still this affordable.

FEATURES & PROS:

• Pedigree: built by the company behind Ibanez's most-copied stompboxes.
• Range: short doubling slaps through to long rhythmic echoes.
